Getting there

Route 41 toward Keflavík, then Route 43 past the Blue Lagoon - about 50 minutes from Reykjavík, paved throughout. This is the Reykjanes volcanic zone: eruptions in recent years have periodically closed roads around the town, and access can change at short notice. Check the alerts page and road.is before setting out, and never cross closure barriers - new lava fields remain hot for months.
